"I did a lot of research before hiring this company and am so gald I decided to go with them. I am thrilled with the job Ed and Len did installing two new exterior doors on my 95 year old house. It was not an easy job but they are both amazing crafsman and the end results are better that I could have imagined. Thank you Ed and Len for a wonderful job and going above and beyond. Thank you also to Amber and Dave. There is no doubt I will use this company again for any other projects I have in the future. I highly recommend them to anyone who wants a professional job done by a skilled and courteous team. Thank you all!"

"I have a few boxes for working with partners. 1) Consistent and transparent communication. I never had to wonder "Where's Josh" from the initial bid until the end of the project. 2) Deliver what you say you will deliver. Josh delivered and then some! 3) Fair and equitable - unbelievable value for the price! As said by others, easily the best price. And 4) Quality product. Best comment I can give here is that I'm a happy customer and the deck is beautiful and safe!"

Woodworking questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can find ceiling joists using simple tools if a stud finder isn't available.

Using a hammer requires patience and a keen ear. Gently tap the ceiling in a grid pattern, listening for sound changes. A hollow sound indicates space between joists, while a solid, dull thud suggests a joist. Mark the location with a pencil and confirm by tapping from different angles.

Alternatively, you can use a nail, but this method will leave small holes. You'll feel increased resistance when the nail hits a joist. Mark the spot and repeat the process every 16 or 24 inches to map the joist locations. This method is considered less reliable than using a stud finder.

It is not recommended to cut or drill into LVL (laminated veneer lumber) beams. As major structural components of a home, their composite structure can be compromised by alterations, which can weaken them and lead to cracking over time. If you must make modifications to an LVL beam, it is crucial to consult a structural engineer or general contractor first. A professional can advise on whether it's safe and provide specifics on the appropriate bit size, depth, and directionality for any necessary drilling.

Joists and beams are both part of the flooring system above your basement, with the beams spanning the length of your home and getting support from vertical posts underneath, and joists usually spanning half the width of your home with no support posts underneath. The floor joists provide even support to the subflooring and flooring above, and they distribute that load to the beams. The beams then distribute that load down through the support posts to the foundation.

Board and batten is a type of wainscotting that uses wider boards that are placed vertically, and it has a much more rustic aesthetic than wainscotting. Common wainscotting styles are raised-panel, flat-panel, and beadboard. Wainscotting is more intricate and will typically use more elegant, subtle trims compared to the more farmhouse-inspired boards of board and batten styles.

Carpenters are trained to take on a wide range of home projects. You can hire a carpenter to do framing, roofing, build custom furniture, and make significant upgrades to your home. General carpenters are usually able to handle most jobs. However, you may also choose to hire a carpenter who specializes in a specific type of carpentry.
